Best Buy must not have an email because they could not provide me with one even though I asked multiple times. So I will provide the pictures here. It truly was not entirely their fault or maybe even their fault at all. But the game was packed in basically just a sleeve. NO bubble wrap, NO box, or any kind of cushion. I'm truly disappointed that the game came damaged the way it did. I have been issued a replacement but the principle still stands

This game comes with the original alan wake, and all AW2 dlcs. Its a beautiful game with a compelling story. This game has me wanting to upgrade to upgrade a ps5pro just to experience it again in a better way.

This is such a far superior game to the original shallow and incompetent Horror-lite feel. And while this is a departure from the original game I think it's instead how the original game should've been. In my opinion at least. this is much more fun and immersive and less of that Resident Evil 4 arcade like feel the original had.
Alan Wake 2 is a bit of investigation, a bit of exploration, a lot of weird horror, and some decent shooting, all rolled inside an amazing looking game.
And as a bonus this brings a digital version of Alan Wake Remastered. So rejoice or whatever.

Alan Wake 2 is an incredible game. The combat, exploration, story, and variety of segments are all top-notch and make for the best game of 2023.

When I first booted up the game, the detective portions through me off, and I really started to second guess this purchase. But instead of complaining about the lack of action and this horror/walking simulator shift, I let myself get absorbed in the experience and wow. I waited specifically for the physical release to play this game and it was well worth the wait. By the end, I really enjoyed that the game focused more horror/exoloration/slow paced thrills as it gave the game time to really create a flow that I have never experienced in a game before.

Amazing followup sequel to one of the my favorite franchises in gaming history. I already bought the digital version of the game for xbox series x when it first released. However, it being on of my beloved franchises, when they announced that they would release a physical version of the game i had to buy. The visuals are stunning and are even more enhanced with the ps5 pro. Gripping story that is narrated beautifully. Game of the year candidate for sure.

You get a lot with this game and it’s definitely a blast! It’s more survival horror than the first game, so you have to use your items sparingly. You also get the DLC and the original Alan Wake (downloaded).

Loved the first Alan Wake back in 2010. This game takes it to another level. The long wait was worth it. Gameplay, story, characters, music, sound, world, etc. all great. A masterpiece and highly recommended.

Alan wake 2 review

This is my first time playing Alan wake. I haven't played the first one yet. The game played smooth except for in the very beginning. When your on your first case. You can run into a bug. And you won't be able to access the map or your case board. And without completing the case board. You cannot move on. The only fix is to restart the game. Luckily this happens in the very beginning. After this, the game played flawlessly. The story is really good. And the atmosphere can get scary at times. Especially with the random jump scares. While there is action. This isn't a typical just run around shoot something up like call of duty. You spend alot of time trying to advance cases and find portals to get to a new scene. It's great game. It's on own class, there's not another game I can think of that's the same. I'd recommend it to anyone who likes a mix of horror and action.

Playing this has been an unforgettable experience. Playing through the remastered first game was the perfect way to get into Alan's world, cause I've never played before. It's fast tho, like 10+ hours, but the sequel took everything to the next level. The visuals are obv stunning, the atmosphere is gripping, and the story had me hooked from start to finish. I loved the mix of tension and discovery, with every detail immersing me deeper. If you’re into cinematic storytelling and psychological horror, this is an absolute must-play. The way it's set up as episodes of a show is very original imho.

A great game with a great story! I played the trial on PS plus and wanted the entire game. I bought it from BestBuy and shortly after it went on sale. BestBuy retroactively price matched which was amazing as well!

I have played this game on the PC and the graphics are amazing, the gameplay is good too and it is similar to the first game. If you enjoyed playing the e Alan Wake you will enjoy this game.
